The judge in a french court this morning ruled in Kate Middleton's favour in the first part of the lawsuit concerning the topless photo scandal.
According to the robed law king, the photos may not be published again in France. And Closer must give the originals to Kate and Prince William.
As a St. James’s Palace spokesperson said, "The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge welcome the judge’s ruling."
Of course, this is only Battle One. Since the ruling can only apply in France, Kate and Willy will have to go further to make sure the same can be said for other countries. Furthermore...
- Closer must not print any more copies of its controversial issue and take the topless pictures off its website
- The photos cannot be published in any other magazines or papers in France
- The photographs cannot be sold by them to anyone else in the world
- Within 24 hours the offending pictures must be handed over to the Palace
- Closer would get a 10,000 euro daily fine each time they sell them on or publish them
- They will receive the same fine if they don't hand over all images by midday tomorrow
- Legal fees of 2,000 euros handed to the Duke and Duchess
